Trust is the bedrock of any relationship and when it is lacking, the relationship is threatened. It is possible that your husband's attitude is borne out of a previous experience in your relationship, so it is important that you are not doing anything to create the mistrust. 

On the other hand, your husband may be experiencing a feeling of guilt from some secret and unhealthy relationships and now turns around to suspect you of what he is guilty of.

Nevertheless, you need to protect your marriage all the same. So lovingly confront him to talk things over. Remember to also be very prayerful about it.

The economic realities of today make this an unwise decision and most times, families that embraced full time housewives have regretted the action at a later time. The reason is simple. Life is full of surprises and unexpected circumstances: the husband could abandon his wife and elope with another woman, putting the woman and children in an embarrassing financial and emotional situation particularly when the woman has no job; or the unfortunate incident of untimely death can truncate the marriage.

It is a common and rather unfortunate in many African culture for the husband’s relative to strip the woman of all assets in the event of the man’s death.

Besides, most men will never agree to their sister being a full time housewife and this is because they know better. Yet the same men will keep their wives at home. This is double standards.

Although some men have argued that they prevent their wives from working so they can concentrate on the care of the children, the truth is most men prevent their wives from working out of selfish reasons.

Sometimes the man is just plain insecure and he's afraid of his wife being more successful. Now, a woman does not necessarily have to go out to do a 9 to 5 job, but she could engage in other forms of business that will still give her flexible and adequate time to take care of the children and the home.

Again, it is believed that women like to spend and men are generally believed to be more careful in spending, although women think it is men's way of avoiding responsibility. However, if a woman earns her own money, she should be allowed the liberty to handle some personal reasonable expenses without being robotic.

Today, women manage their homes and their careers adequately well to the extent that neither suffers. Encourage your wife to be the best and ensure that you are no pushover yourself.
